As a channel-first organization at heart, partners remain at the heart of everything we do at Sophos. We’re proud to work alongside a passionate and committed partner community across Asia Pacific and Japan.

At this year’s Sophos APJ Partner 100 event, we had the pleasure of celebrating the exceptional accomplishments of our top-performing channel partners and distributors. Their strategic focus on cybersecurity, unwavering commitment to delivering industry-leading solutions, and continued success over the past year is truly inspiring.

“Threat actors are targeting unpatched devices at the edge – and “logging in” rather than breaking into networks as we can see in our 2025 Annual Threat Report,” says Chad Cleevely, Senior Director, Channel Sales – APJ Sales at Sophos. “We are proud to recognize this year’s winners for their commitment to and success in protecting customers and delivering superior security outcomes with Sophos. They exemplify a new level of excellence, and together, we’re making a measurable impact in defeating active adversaries.”
